			<b>Select/Elements of Same Type</b> will select all functions on the SAB diagram.
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Select

		<h2 id="Generic_connection_creation_tool">Generic connection creation tool</h2>
		<p>A new tool called

		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Select the tool icon 
				<img border="0" src="../../Images/IconCreateEdgeView.gif"/> on the palette.
			</li>
			<li>Select a graphical element on the diagram as

		<h2 id="Organize_diagrams_in_Project_Explorer">Organize diagrams in Project Explorer</h2>
		<p>When the number of diagrams increases, it is necessary to organize them. </p>
		<h4 id="Organize_diagrams_by_drag_and_drop">Organize diagrams by drag and drop</h4>
		<p>Blank diagrams (for instance XAB and IDB) can be drag and dropped between Components or Component packages. For example, a sub-package can be created under the Logical System to group certain LAB diagrams as follows: </p>
		<p>
			<div class="thumb">
				<div class="thumbinner">
					<a href="../../Images/DiagramsInPackage.png" class="image">
						<img class="thumbimage" border="0" src="../../Images/DiagramsInPackage.png"/>
					</a>
				</div>
			</div>
		</p>
		<h4 id="Organize_diagrams_via_package_tag">Organize diagrams via package tag</h4>
		<p>Another way to organize diagrams is via package tag. Several diagrams can be grouped together in a package tag. In the view 
			<b>Properties</b> of a diagram, it is possible to:
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Create a new package</li>
			<li>Add a diagram to an existing package</li>
		</ul>
		<p>
			<div class="thumb">

			</div>
		</p>
		<h2 id="Visibility_Mode_-_new_Sirius_layer_to_manage_hidden_graphical_elements">Visibility Mode - new Sirius layer to manage hidden graphical elements</h2>
		<p>The 
			<b>Visibility Mode</b> allows to visualize all elements of the diagram: if an element is currently invisible because of an active filter or being hidden by user, it will be shown with transparency.
		</p>
		<p>This mode can be activated from the toolbar of diagram.</p>
		<p>
			<div class="thumb">
				<div class="thumbinner">
					<a href="../../Images/Tips86.png" class="image">
						<img class="thumbimage" border="0" src="../../Images/Tips86.png"/>
					</a>
				</div>
			</div>
		</p>
		<p>If the 
			<b>Visibility Mode</b> is active, double-clicking on a graphical element will change its visibility (from visible to invisible and vice versa) without modifying semantic models:
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>If a selected diagram element is currently invisible and it is contained by an invisible element, both of them will be made visible.</li>
			<li>If a selected diagram element is currently invisible and it contains hidden children, the element will be made visible and its children will be displayed with transparency.</li>
			<li>If a selected diagram element is an edge, it will change the visibility of its source and target as well.</li>
			<li>If a selected diagram element is currently invisible because of an active filter, a dialog will be prompted to ask for deactivating the filter.</li>
			<li>If a selected diagram element is currently invisible because of an inactive layer, a dialog will be prompted to ask for activating the layer.</li>
		</ul>

		<h2 id="Note_as_graphical_link_toward_other_diagram">Note as graphical link toward other diagram</h2>
		<p>The new tool 
			<b>Representation Link</b> in the palette allows to create a graphical link toward an existing diagram. 
		</p>
		<ul>
			<li>The linked diagram is represented as a node element</li>
			<li>The content of note is synchronized with the name of linked diagram</li>
			<li>
				<b>Double-clicking</b> on the note will open the linked diagram

		<h2 id="Refresh_many_representations_at_once">Refresh many representations at once</h2>
		<p>On the 
			<b>Project Explorer</b>, it is possible to refresh at once many 
			<i>sub</i>-representations related to a selected element.
